Instead of telling that it isn't normal, we don't tell what should be done neither what it will impact. I guess something like "modesetting disabled, hw acceleration disabled" would be more suitable. Speaking about that, I wonder how Nouveau would work on a CRTC-less card :D Martin PS: I have tested booting Arch with "nomodeset" and x-server loads VESA. Exactly the behaviour we are looking for :)
